Approaching strangers in Spanish may leave you a bit tongue-tied at first. If you are like me, you will hesitate because you are trying to figure out whether to call this stranger “usted” (you, formal) or “tú” (you, informal).

A good translation begins with the writing of the source text. Therefore, writing copy that is clear, concise, and grammatically correct will help the translators, for whom English is second language, generate product instructions that give your business a competitive edge and get to market earlier.
